You do understand the concept of bulleton board material… it doesn’t even need to be true or false to still have the bulletin board affect. If you’re ever asked something like that as a player, you show respect…
It's only bulletin board material if the guys who read the comment are too stupid to know he complimented everyone but Hurts, and saying he's helped by the system isn't an insult, it's the truth. I'm sure he knows that, and so what if he doesn't? He's a QB, what's he gonna do, throw the ball harder?

And come off as cowards? Nah, I'd prefer diplomatic honesty.
Paraphrasing

“ it’s hurts the MVP?“.

“ don’t think so, it’s the team/system“

Lol. Is that diplomatic honesty? Not sure how diplomatic it is at all. And what does it have to do with being a coward? What he said comes across as petty disrespect.

In the end it likely won’t make a big difference at all, and I’m sure Parsons has been told not to say something like that again.

"Is Hurts the MVP?"

"I refuse to answer that question because I don't want to make the Eagles mad."



He said he doesn't think so. He didn't say, "No, he sucks and the team is carrying him." He was pointing out that the team is designed to utilize his abilities to the maximum degree.

Man you just don’t get it. As I said, when team A is looking for a reason to be disrespected by team B you don’t make it easy for them. And it’s not Hurts that you have to worry about getting riled up, it’s his OL, DL, etc. Look at today…Hurts did not comment on it but he’s left tackle did.

It was five years ago that the Eagles built their entire Super Bowl run on being disrespected… and that wasn’t even bulletin board material, it was betting odds. It works.

I think you put too much credence into the concept that a comment like that is going to make the team angry. His LT stuck up for him, big deal. That doesn't mean the team is in the locker room plotting revenge.

Oh, but I do get it. You think the Eagles are so emotional that Micah's opinion is going to light a fire under them. If it gets in their heads that easily, the whole team should talk smack.
LOL, yeah this whole bulletin board phenomena started with the Eagles this week… It hasn’t been a thing at all for the last gazillion years

You just don’t do stupid things like this. End of story.

In the end it probably doesn’t make a difference… At least a big difference… But The Eagles locker room certainly did not get LESS ramped up because of his comments…And the goal should always be to do everything perfectly, and that includes when talking to the press.

I wish he'd have gone harder in the paint honesty.

So what, go ahead and piss them off. What do I care? The better team will win.

The better team does not always win. The talent level matters more than anything, but the intangibles also matter… Things like trap games, bulletin board material, etc. they do make a difference…

That said, once he made the original mistake , I don’t think today’s comments helped… At this point maybe it would’ve been better to go full trash talk…And try to get our own boys riled up over it.

There are a lot of fallacies in the last "gazillion" years. On rare occasions, bulletin board material is a factor, but I think you overestimate it considerably, especially since it was one comment about one player, by one player who says he didn't mean it as an insult, and clearly complimented the rest of the team with the original statement.

I never said it makes a massive difference, it makes a small difference… Maybe. But you don’t give anything away 10 days before the game. And he clearly Was saying that Hurts did not deserve the MVP talk… I don’t know how that is not an insult.

Oh it’s like if you’re out and people are telling you how beautiful your wife/girlfriend is… Then some doorknob says, “she’s not THAT hot, she just has expensive clothes and jewellery”…I don’t think that would throw you.

I wouldn't go so far as to use the wife analogy, but I know what you're saying. I just think being realistic isn't insulting. If an analyst says it, it wouldn't be taken as an insult.

I think dude needs to go for a walk. It’s not the end of the world.

Micah spoke the truth there was nothing wrong with it.

This dumb. Hurtz is by no means worthy of MVP. I hate MVP honestly. It's a popularity contest with no context. Hurtz is playong sound football. I'm happy for the guy (barely). I can name a ton of better football players in the league that, if not playing, destroy the success of their team.
